Jerry, I've got a situation similar to yours. I'm using pam with kde and not having any issues at all, even across boxen. Rather than looking at your world as "how do I remove pam?", why not look at it as "if it's not broke don't fix it." Leave pam et. Al in place until you actually encounter a situation where it's failing. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
